Posted on by Yatkara

On January 30, 2025, the Agung Rai Museum of Art (ARMA) in Ubud, Bali, hosted a special exhibition of Sri Chinmoy’s Jharna-Kala paintings, marking the 50th anniversary of his artistic journey. The exhibition, themed “Paintings for Peace and World Harmony,” showcased over a dozen abstract acrylic works, many displayed in Bali for the first time.
“Jharna-Kala,” meaning “Fountain-Art” in Bengali, reflects Sri Chinmoy’s spontaneous and meditative approach to painting. He began this artistic expression in 1974, creating vibrant artworks that have been exhibited worldwide, including at the United Nations and the Carrousel du Louvre.
The Bali exhibition not only celebrated Sri Chinmoy’s artistic legacy but also his deep connection to the island, which he visited multiple times and was honored for his contributions to peace and spirituality.
